To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.

Art is forever.

Admittedly, it is really our duty, as artists, to hold up a mirror to our own era; but, on the other hand, these works have lives of their own, and they're still alive today.

The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.

That's the thing about music: It's forever. Hopefully, you captured a moment musically that has a timeless quality people will find relevant to their lives at any point. That's the whole idea about what I love about art and music.

I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.

One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life.

For every artist, experience is never complete until it has been reproduced in creative work.
